Silent Story

Mina Alexandra Oates

On a cold winter morningThe lake breathes out steamLike a giant tea kettle.

Two ducks in the middleAs still as a painting.Why haven’t they gone south?

A bird hangs up in the air.Let’s sit on the shoreAnd soak in the quiet.

Instead, we zoom byAnd join in the traffic.
